      That is not how NATO works or what it is

      Not saying we shouldn’t try to free political undesirable prisoners, just saying that that is not what NATO is for, won’t happen

        Most countries would be able to take El Salvador on in a head-on-head fight.

        Now, which ones can do so, if the US is backing the dictatorship there? That’s a big question.

        Yes. But it would be a violation of international law, so they should not be willing.

        If the matter somehow transforms to obtaining the assistance of El Salvador in this case, a credible proposal of EU economic sanctions would hasten a compromise.

        To be honest, I’m not fully understanding why El Salvador accepted those people from the US.
